If most benefits weren't means tested, which they currently are, except in Scotland, where you can still receive residential care without having to sell your house and use your savings, unlike in England and Wales, the country would be facing an even bigger burden, with the tax payer giving money to those who've decided to blow any windfall that they had.
Would I begrudge paying this man any money from the public purse, whilst he still had disposable assets? Yes I would.
